Race 1: 5YO and under winners of 2 but not more than 4 (F&M5) or $45,000 LT **Gtd. $100,000 Pick 5*

(7) LILYS LASS stayed in approaching the 3/4 last week and she took a bad shuffle when the pocket sitter stopped. I'll stick with her here expecting a better trip. (6) GIGONDAS tried a stalking approach last week but the leader was too tough. Starting from the best post tonight, he should get more aggressive. He will likely be the one to catch. (8) STORM TROTTER was affected by the same shuffle as the choice and he is in with a shot tonight coming back in 7 days. (1) COME HOME FOR LIFE brings some good form in from Flamboro Downs. He can be an exotics factor here.

Race 2: Popup Claiming $22,000 to $30,000

(2) A BOY NAMED SUUZZ is in peak form and he is the one to hold off here. (6) SPEAKING OF ART is razor-sharp and he keeps getting claimed. Starting from the best post, he is the one to fear. (1) J J XAVIER was never catching the winner last week, but that was a good effort and he should take another slice here. (5) JULERICA is likely to flash speed and take another share tonight.

Race 3: NW $5,000 L5 or $12,000 L10

I'm going to take a stab with (1) MISTER OF ALL racing off the shelf here facing a field with no standout. (3) SHES GOT PIZAZZ raced well in defeat last time and she figures to have a big shot racing near the front again; using. (7) JACK FIRE should be part of the Tri or Super tonight if he stays flat. (6) WISHYOUDTELLME is a good one to use in the bottom of the exotics.

Race 4: Popup Claiming $22,000 to $30,000 - Pick 4

(6) MACH ART IN MOTION was about to pass the leader (7) PRIVATE SCOTT when that rival drifted out and contacted wheels. The former was rightly elevated to the win and these two will likely battle it out here again. (8) I AMA ROCKET has been right there in every local start and he was good in the Popup final but I don't love the widest post for him here and he could get over bet; your call. (5) OFFICER JONES is capable but he often encounters traffic problems. I'll use him on the bottom.

Race 5: NW $12,000 L5 or $22,000 L10 or 6 LT AE: Starters for a purse of $16,000 or less L4 AE: OPT CLM $65,000

(7) MR CONTESTANT was a strong winner when facing similar racing off the Lester claim and he gets the call to repeat tonight. (6) DEALIN WITH DEWEY looked good giving trainer Sara Baillargeon her first win as a conditioner. She should be a threat right back. (5) MEADOWBRANCH NOBLE closed well when 2nd to the choice and he should be in the exotics mix again tonight. (8) ROWLEN likely closes for another small share vs. these.

Race 6: Popup Claiming $22,000 to $30,000 - Pick 5

(5) ARUKIDINME CABBIE was a big go in the Popup final but his trip was too tough. He should be the one to beat here. (1) TOUGHSONOFABEACH finished willingly when claimed by Auciello and he figures to be a threat here. (4) NIGHT CLUB HANOVER has been aggressively handled in bot starts since the Marfisi claim and got only a 4th. I see a different trip coming tonight. (6) CENTURY GIGALO should be good for at least a share in this short field.

Race 7: CLM HDCP $11,000 to $14,000

(6) THANKYAVERYMUCH is sharp for a barn that tends to keep one good for several weeks once they reach peak form and he gets the call to repeat. (8) BETTOR NOTBITTER A was beaten by the choice last week but he finished ahead of that rival two starts back when he was claimed. He can be an Exacta factor in this field. (7) PROBERTS LEGACY was riding the pocket when he broke stride and caused brief interference. He can be an exotics factor in this field if he stays pacing this time. (1) JIM STRIKESITRICH needs a clean line here racing off the Fellows claim. He is worth watching for next week.

Race 8: Horses that have started for a purse of $15,000 or less in 1 of L4 - Pick 4

(7) KAMERAN HANOVER faced slightly tougher here but he comes off a sharp win and he has options starting from the widest post in a short field; call to repeat. (3) TREASURED TEE was right there last time he faced similar and the class drop makes him very dangerous here; using. (2) AUSSIE LOVER came close to chasing down a loose leader in a good effort. (1) TOKYO SEELSTER is in good form and he can take another slice vs. this group.

Race 9: NW $25,000 L5 or NW8 LT

(6) LOOKS LIKE MONI was passively driven as the chalk in a race with no pace last week now he gets J Mac in the bike. Expect aggression tonight with him facing basically the same field. (2) WARRIOR ONE chased the leader and stayed ahead of the choice for 2nd and he can be an Exacta factor again. (4) RITSON steps up but he is sharp and he can rally for a share here. (3) PATRIARCH HANOVER likely sits a trip near the front again and lands a spot in the Super.

Race 10: CLM HDCP $15,000 to $20,000

We've seen this movie before with (3) CHOREOGRAPHER who tired late and got picked off last week. He has come back to win off these trips before and could lead all the way this time. (9) STATE OF PLAY had a tough trip but he just missed catching (5) COIN FLIP when they both beat the choice. Either of these is obviously capable of winning here. (2) SIGHTS ON YOU gets post relief here and he could land in the choice's pocket early. He should get a piece of this.

Race 11: Horses that have started for a purse of $7,500 or less in 1 of L4

This is the kind of spot where veteran (8) POINTOMYGRANSON can shoot straight to the front and lead all the way; top call. (4) BETTER BE GOUDA gets McNair for the first time in a race where he should be able to get a good piece if he gets put into the race; using. (5) ALLGONOWHOA last won a race in mid-December of 2021 but his recent from is good and he might be able to get off the schneid tonight. (3) GOLDINTHEBADLANDS was better last week and he should be heard from late again tonight. (2) LAST MACH should be good for a small slice off a following trip.
